That is how data is extracted.
You get
A B C D E
A B C D E
A B C D E
etc.
If you want
A A A
B B B
C C C
D D D
E E E
etc. Then you will need to do that from within excel. The easiest way would be to copy the data in excel go to a new sheet and use paste-transpose, and where that is varies with different versions of excel.
